Peter is amazing to work with. He is very timely in his responses and was great at explaining the process of purchasing a house to someone who knows nothing about real estate. We succeeded in securing our first house because of his attention to detail and overall knowledge of the surrounding market.read more

Because I work in the industry and know many agents, it was a difficult decision when recently deciding who to list our house with. Even though I have known him for many years, he insisted on a pre-listing presentation so that we would all be on the same page before making a decision. We were very impressed with his professional presentation and he lived up to every word of it! He marketed our property in a very impressive way, with amazing photos and even a drone video. He brought in numerous offers right away and gave us very practical and useful advise from day one through closing. I honestly believe that we would not have realized the substantial profit we did, if we hadn't listed with Peter. We recommend him very highly! If you want to sell your home, you need a first class agent, who truly brings value to your transaction. Call Peter Olson, you won't regret it!read more

Peter did a GREAT job for my husband and I. When we first came to Colorado Springs, Peter took us on a killer community tour. He really showed us how awesome the city is. Peter connected us with a listing that wasn't even up on the LMS yet - we were able to get a deal done before the seller officially put her house up. This really made the home-buying process super easy. Very responsive and easy to work with. We recommended him to our family members too! Can't go wrong with Peter!read more

To put it simply, Pete is awesome. I really can't say enough good things. He's helped us with 2 transactions now and both have been great. He's super professional and knowledgeable, and he knows this market better than anyone else I've talked to. He's punctual too, which is both rare and appreciated these days. Pete has the answers, and helped us make the most informed decision possible. He didn't try to steer us to the most expensive house in our budget, and it's obvious that he's got long term relationships in mind, which is the same way I operate my own business, and also exceedingly rare these days(especially in this town).read more

Peter did an outstanding job helping us sell our home. He is our friend and used to be our neighbor but never took advantage of that relationship. He always performed with and showed up with the upmost professionalism and knowledge. He is one top-notch realtor and has professional photography and communication skills to back it up and help ensure you get the best deal.read more

Peter did an excellent job in getting our home sold. He was very professional and direct on what he or any realtor should offer as well as how to make our home look great for the showings. He took the time to provide a presentation on what a realtor should do for you. He took all the pictures, flew the drone for the aerial photos and highlighted all the great features of the house in the listing. He took the time to pull facts and figures for the neighborhood and surrounding areas to help us make informed decisions when to list and how much to list the home for. Peter kept us in the loop during the whole process. He responded promptly to all our questions and concerns. Our home was only on the market for four days before obtaining an above asking offer and I credit the successful sale to Peter Olson. If you are looking for a professional realtor, I highly recommend Peter. You will not be disappointed.read more

Working with Peter to find a home when my family and I were moving from out of state this spring was an absolute pleasure. Peter's depth and breadth of knowledge of the CO Springs market and the surrounding area is what enabled us to find a wonderful home that fits our family. Peter is a great advocate who provided us with solid market information during the buying process. I can't imagine working with anyone else, should I have any real estate needs in the future.read more

We found Peter to be very knowledgeable, thoughtful and FUN to work with!

I have only great things to say about Peter. My wife and I had a great experience buying a home with Peter. I have worked with numerous Real Estate Agents in the past, and I can say that Peter’s professionalism and work ethic is second to none. We met Peter nearly a year prior to searching for a home. He kept in touch the entire time, fine tuning our housing wishes so that when the time came to search for a home, we hit the ground running. He was prepared with a large list of homes for us to see as well as background knowledge on every home as far as what would be a good/bad real eastate purchase. His fundamental knowledge on the local real estate market is second to none and we benefited greatly from this. We were able to secure the home we wanted at a much better price than was asking because of this knowledge. He has a background in software and data processing, so his statistical analysis of the market is well beyond any other realator I have ever worked with. He kept us on top of all things throughout the contract process, constantly sending us reminders of what we needed by what date. After closing, his involvement did not stop. He continually is a source to lean on for handyman, painters, plumbers, floors, and electricians. He has even made a few stops by our home to make sure everything is going well. If you are looking for a genuine realtor, who will do everything you need to buy or sell a property, then this is definitely your man. He works hard for you and his actions make this very clear. I could not imagine a better experience. A+. Thank you for everything, Peter!read more

You will not find a more honest, knowledgeable, or harder-working realtor than Peter! He is not trying to get you to buy the most expensive house, but rather, the best house for you. He does his research on homes and potential flaws with re-sale. Even after finalizing the sale, he has helped us get multiple bids on painting the interior of our house, and helped us find a guy to stain our floors. If we ever move (which I can't imagine we will because we love our house), we will definitely be using Peter!read more

My wife and I throughly enjoyed working with Peter! We had a big task to find a family home with in a week and lived across the country. Peter has a lot of knowledge and experience that really sets him apart. We also really relied on it as we were new to the area and didn’t have any family/friends in the area. We highly recommend Peter! He took the time to explain potential pitfalls on each property and specific areas that made our decision process easier. We didn’t feel he ever tried to sell us; he was a genuine consultant to our needs. We are looking to purchase another home with him because of his excellent customer service and knowledge.read more

We met Peter 9 years ago, when the Army brought us to Colorado Springs. He worked tirelessly for months to help us find our dream home. When it came time for our family to move away, we looked Peter up to sell our home. He provided outstanding advise on staging, pricing, and negotiation. Our home sold quickly and for more the we expected. He is extremely knowledgeable about the market, truly professional, and down right personal. He is also the most dedicated real estate agent we have ever met and because of that we continue to use him as our real estate agent. Last year, before we move back to Colorado, Peter was working for us. He set up daily updates on the market, so we could narrow our focus. He is not just interested in the sale, he made sure it was the right home for our family. We rely on Peter's honest, personal, and professional real estate experience and expertise. He is highly recommended.read more

Pete is an excellent realtor. He listens to his clients and doesn't waste their time. His singular focus is to find them the perfect home. Our initial consultation consisted of me walking through my wants/needs. Pete then explained his process and started sending me houses to view online immediately. He gave very good advice regarding neighborhoods and potential pitfalls around future resale. Using his process, I found my new home the first day we went on viewings. Once we made the offer, he walked me through every aspect of the closing process. He is very proactive and customer focused. I would highly recommend Pete and will use him in my future real estate endeavors.read more

Pete recently helped our family buy a house in Northwest Colorado Springs and the service he provided during our home search was great! We've bought three houses and sold two houses with Pete's assistance and the experience was top notch every time! His expertise takes the stress out of the process. He asks the right questions and provides online tools that help us narrow our search to select properties making best use of our time. Pete expertly guided us through the offer and closing process. He anticipated our needs and promptly responded to any of our questions or concerns. His pointed questions of our priorities, his knowledge on the area, and advice on the homes we saw led us to the fantastic home we now own. We would recommend Pete to our friends and family!read more

We relocated to Colorado Springs from another state, and Peter Olson came recommended from one of my husband's colleagues. Peter was an absolute pleasure to work with as we searched for our new home. He repeatedly went above and beyond our expectations. After working with Peter, I truly understand the value of a real estate agent- he was a guide to us learning about the local real estate market and neighborhoods and he continually advocated on our behalf. We are so thrilled with our new home and feel Peter was essential in helping us find the right house at the right price. We will continue to work with Peter for any real estate needs for as long as he is in the business! Thank you Peter!read more
